When Our Shadows Melt
When life's lights goes out
And death is crowned in shame
When the clock's last tock halts
And the shadows fade in sorrows
When the last candle falls
And my heart beats no more
When you hear my voice no more
And yet nowhere to trace me
When the eternal gates shut close
And you feel my breath not
When the pictures paint my smiles
And the inks write my words
When you call me
And hears my voice no more
When I am laid lonely
And no one ready to stay with me
When you know I am no more
And you have to move on with life
When you know I love you
But death separates us
